Have you considered the military option?
they pay you to learn, you get some excellent training in good machines.... and lots of hours.
there are probably lots of pitfalls in the military approach too, like having to go to places you may not like and minor things like being shot at.
there have been several threads on this option, I suggest that you search the forum. depends on age, too, as over approx 26 you are too old.
